Buy this 327-powered Willys and Mattracks system

This combination nets you fun all year, no matter what.

Tiny wheelbase, excessive power, and a four on the floor. To boot, this 327-powered Willys looks kind of pissed off. It seems like the perfect rig to blow off some steam while sending mud flying at speed. Of course, the matte black finish is the color of these times, so that's what it's wearing, but you could turn it any color you'd like by driving through various types of mud. The rear tonneau and bikini top are nice touches, and overall the truck looks very well-built. Of course, in a short-wheelbase rig like this, setup is everything, and this may need some on- and off-road tinkering to dial it in just right.

When that mud turns into a slushy, icy mess, it's time to bolt up these Mattracks. It seems like these 88M1-A1-SAs will bolt up nicely, and they've got a perfectly military-sounding model name. With that 327 underhood, you'll have plenty of juice to reach (and maybe exceed) the 40 mph max speed recommendation of the Mattracks, and surely the "up to 90 degree" approach angle and internal suspension system will keep you entertained. Now, you'll just have to make sure you bundle up, because the system is rated to operate in up to -38 degree F ambient temps.
